Only thing I can figure is “one opinion is right, mine, and one is wrong, yours.” I believe that’s the thought process behind them.

The “non-amplified” moniker in the non JBL system is a misnomer. The amplifier for either system is under the drivers seat. What you have is a line-driver. Sure, it has minimal EQ functionality, but it’s still a line-driver. My question is, if you know how a LD works, how much leeway do you...

Yeah. But as long as the item meets the specifications it’s designed for, run it. It’s when stuff promises one thing, but is proven detrimental, that pisses me off.

I’ve never really gotten the “oil thread” comments. I’m not going to dissuade you from using what you’d like, changing it when you’d like or using the filter you’d like. As long as it’s not extra virgin olive oil, run what ya brung! ALMOST every oil in the parts store meets the ILSAC-6A...

This is referred to as an “Infinite Baffle” or IB sub. The benefit of this design is there isn’t a need for an actual enclosure, as it uses the space behind the sub as a larger box, theoretically allowing for more extension. In THIS use-case is it everything everyone hoped and dreamed for...

:slow clap: correct, I’m not sure why. One thing I am sure of though, I’m learning to figure it out. I don’t like to throw shade at anyone, especially on the internet, because things can most definitely be taken out of context. However, I don’t step into a forum and say “The” anything thread...

Magnuson-Moss act. The dealership would have to PROVE that what you installed is the cause of whatever problem you’re having. If you install a camera, and your headlights stop working, for example, they need to draw a line from the headlights to your dashcam. If you have the plug above the...

For the harness, check PAC-audio.com. I know the JBL is the TY-02, but never looked up the base stereo options. Good luck.

@PNWkip looking closer at the manual for your powered sub, I have a question. Where are you grabbing the signal from for the box? Can you possibly, this is going to be loud, get a test tone, something 40-50Hz at 0db, try kicker.com, and measure th voltage on your inputs at the box at...

I’d probably set the x-over to the x, that’s likely closer to 80Hz. But other than that, your settings look fine. If you’re concerned, maybe try with the boost at minimum. Agreed, an o-scope would be desirable, but not everyone has access to one short of buying their own for a one-time use...

Interesting. I’m going to have to do more reading on the hybrid in these trucks. I don’t have one, so it’s been down the list of reading material. Thanks for setting me straight.

Sounds to me like you have it set correctly. Yes, just be careful with the bass boost, that is a sub killer if not done right. And I agree, there’s A LOT of info on EVERYTHING out there. You can end up with “paralysis by analysis”. I spent a good 10 years doing that when I went from “just...

Just read the “gain adjust “ in the manual of the P300, and it says that for best performance the gain should be set at minimum. Where are your gain settings? Because my description of a remote “volume control” seems like it would apply to this powered sub as well. BTW, I’ve heard Rockford...

Not knowing exactly which RF sub you have, I’ll make a couple generalizations. When you want to set gains, turn the bass knob up full, adjust any gains on the amp, and be good to go. You need to think of the bass knob as just a volume control for your sub. You’re not negating the gain...

No, try again. The amplifier is using the power of the alternator to operate. When, and only when, the alternator runs out of available power, the battery is used in reserve. However, Toyota would know this, and design an amplifier that doesn’t need to dip into battery reserves for power..

It depends on WHEN you touch the bass boost. If you do it before setting gains, all you’re doing is over emphasizing a very narrow frequency range at the expense of the others. Think of it as a blip on a line graph. You can only go as loud as the highest point on that graph. If you...

Alright. I will leave things as they are. I’ve said most of what I want to. Enjoy your day.

I’ve had this discussion on another forum, about the BeatSonic. Yes, it will make a perceptible difference to the sound. But it is perception. What you’re hearing, the difference, is likely clipping. As I said, why would Toyota leave any room in the balance of the screen/amp combo, except...

I would like to draw your attention to information about the Beat-Sonic piece. - It is NOT an amp, according to its name. It is a glorified plug-n-play line driver, similar to an Audio Control LC2i(as an example). What it is doing is boosting the voltage from the screen to the JBL/base...
